For the Refua Shlema of Mordechai Tzvi ben
Sara & Binyamin ben Blanka.
The Nefesh Shimshon, which is a set of books
on Chizuk (inspiration) and overall Torah, has a beautiful Dvar Torah on Emunat Yisrael (the faith of the Jews).
The Rabbi explains that Emunat Yisrael is something that will never be
destroyed, Am Yisrael will always have Emunah forever that Hashem is one and He
is everlasting and the reasons everything in this world lives and operates. So
too, says the Rabbi, with every Jew individually.
Every Jew in this world has the power ALONE to
cause war and at the same time to prevent war from happening. And Chazal (the
Sages) say this in Masechet Kiddushin (40b) and Rambam brings this down as
Halacha. Every Jew needs to see him/herself as a Benoni (on the middleground between a Tzadik, a righteous person,
and a Rasha, a wicked person). What does this mean? That a single Chet (sin) would cause him/her to be a
Rasha and a SINGLE Mitzvah would cause him/her to be a Tzadik/Tzadeket. But the
Rambam adds another part to it: not only will a Mitzvah/Chet change this person’s
status, rather it affects THE ENTIRE WORLD’S STATUS!
The Nefesh Shimshon says clearly: “These are
not words of Hitorerut (to wake one
up) or words of Chizuk, rather this
is the TRUTH of the Torah an the truth of HASHEM!”
For example, the entire Hashkafah (viewpoint) of Judaism works like this: Why was there
rain in Eretz Yisrael (Israel) last year when this year there is a drought (G-d
forbid)? It could very well be that an Old Lady somewhere in the Golan was
reading Tehillim everyday for the success of the entire Jewish Nation and
simply this year she passed away. Or maybe it was some middle-aged businessman
who would read Tehillim on his bus ride into Yerushalayim from Tel Aviv on Egged
Bus #400 and he just stopped this year. 
Everything depends on the individual. Each Jew
is like a Pilot carrying the entire Am Yisrael, one tiny mistake and we all
feel the consequence.
B’H may we chase after our innate desire to
serve Hashem WITH A SMILE and realize what a zchut (privilege) it is to be Jewish.
